"Dad, what if my daughter doesn't like him? How painful it is to live a lifetime with an undesirable Langjun. Dad, can you bear to let me live like a year in the future? Let my mother see it in heaven, and she will not complain about you. Retire, can I pick one myself? ”

Zhao Lian hugged Zhao's father's elbow and didn't let go, grinding hard and soaking, and speaking mourning.

Listening to the more he said, the more unseemly he became, Father Zhao's face turned cold and he couldn't help but scold.

"What nonsense, how can you withdraw from your relatives at will. In this world, the family affairs of children and daughters are not handled by adults, and only you think so. ”

"Didn't you say they were all attached to me?"

Zhao Lian's heart was full of grievances, and after a while, her eyes turned red, and the big golden beans fell down.

Look at this pouting mouth, can't stop choking, the temperament is so big, I can't say it, Zhao's father is distressed and helpless.

"Alas. The next thing is not dependent on you, but this marriage event, you don't understand this, where do you know how powerful it is. ”

When Zhao's father saw it, he cried even more, and the small shoulder twitched, which was very sad. I can't bear to say any more.

Then he coaxed: "You are still young now, and it will be several years before you get married." When you meet, you will know when you get along. If it doesn't work when the time comes, my father won't be reluctant, okay. ”

Zhao Lian knew that this was her father's bottom line, and although she knew that this was a pretext, she nodded with a sullen face.

She felt so sad in her heart, and the comfort of half a year made her think that the ancient days were not so unbearable. Now that a stick has woken her up, even if she hides well from being discovered, she will have to bear the fate of an ancient woman.

Yes, this is ancient times, and she can't make her own decisions about many things.

She went out in a trance, until Aunt Hua shouted to eat, and she was still like a green vegetable, and she didn't eat a few bites of rice.

Aunt Hua knew that the father and daughter were confused, and they wanted to say something, but they didn't have any position to ask, so they had to sigh silently.

Zhao's father was worried that his daughter would spoil her body, and she would be raised in vain for half a year, so he helplessly coaxed: "Eat quickly, I'll give you some silver taels tomorrow, go and play with Sister Xing'er." ”

"Really?" Zhao Lian finally became happy and almost jumped up. Marriage is still too far away, and tomorrow will be very soon. She's finally going to lift the ban?!

Sister Xing'er was the first friend she made here, and after she was imprisoned for a month, her father ordered a new tube of lipstick for her in order to coax her, and she delivered it to her house. chatted with Sister Xing'er for a few words, and found that the two had similar tempers, and they became familiar with each other. After that, I came to accompany her several times to relieve her boredom, and a lot of things were found out from her. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen anyone in a long time.

Father Zhao calculated the days and determined that it was now half a month longer than the stipulated time, so he was relieved. "Eat it." Half a year has passed, and now it's the beginning of March, so I don't need to lock you up in the future. You can still participate in the Peach Blossom Festival in a few days, if you don't take care of your body, how can you go? ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Zhao Lian's porcelain-white face was dyed with a wisp of red, and her little green cabbage instantly absorbed enough water and became fresh again.

She was very excited from afternoon to evening, her eyes were shining, and she even walked unruly, jumping and jumping.

Father Zhao was both happy and worried, she was a thirteen-year-old girl, and she was still a child.

The night was deep, and the insects in the Zhao family's courtyard were constantly chirping. Zhao's father's room had already turned off the lights, only Zhao Lian's window was still shining.

If it was a few days ago, Rao was a night owl like Zhao Lian in modern times, and after getting used to the ancient routine, he would have fallen asleep at this time.

But tonight, she couldn't sleep.

Zhao Lian sat on the high chair by the window, holding her face with her hands, looking at the stars in the sky in a daze. The excitement of the lifting of the ban had passed, and in addition to looking forward to tomorrow, her heart swelled with the fear of being a modern person.

Tomorrow she will start to walk out of this little house like a snail and touch this strange world. The night made that fragile nerve continue to magnify, and the worry about the future was like a tidal wave, and the source hit her one after another.

No matter what she thought, the sun rose the next day. Zhao Lian rummaged through the cabinets and found a light blue skirt to put on.

In front of the dresser, she combed herself with the style of her hair that she had learned from Aunt Hua and applied a new style of lipstick. When you look left and right in the mirror, you just feel that something is wrong.

If you look closely, it turns out that your head is too plain. opened the jewelry box sent by Zhao's father last night, picked out two begonia hairpins and put them on.

Look again, it really adds a little more brightness and softness.

After eating breakfast and receiving her father's money, Zhao Lian hurriedly stepped out of the door. It's a pity that she was dumbfounded as soon as she came out. There were several roads outside the courtyard gate, and there were small courtyards surrounded by high walls on the left and right, and she didn't know the roads.

Zhao Lian knew that of course the Zhao family did not live in the center of the city, but in the residential area in the south of the city, and there were still businessmen like her family around. Her father said it would take two quarters of an hour to walk from here to the store. But no one told him that the road outside the door was so complicated.

"Why don't you go yet?"

Zhao Lian was distressed, and Zhao's father appeared at the door.

Wouldn't it be nice to go with her father? Zhao Lian smiled, "Wait for Daddy." ”

Father Zhao's puzzled gaze fell on Zhao Lian, wasn't he in a hurry to go out, waiting for him to do something.

"Let's go, then."

Zhao Lian followed Zhao's father's side, and the father and daughter met neighbors and acquaintances to greet each other, stopped and stopped, and turned left and right for a while before leaving the alley. The road is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road, and it is becoming more and more lively.

The vendors who push the cart and shout all the way, the little girl who stands on the street with a basket and sells snacks, the classic teahouse on the side of the street for pedestrians to quench their thirst, the yellow-haired foreigner who coos and talks something, and the coachman who drives the cow vigorously......

She really felt what it meant to be dazzled and dizzy.

What I saw and heard was similar to that of costume dramas, but it was more exciting and shocking than what I was on TV. She followed Zhao's father through the crowd and stopped in front of a store that was not remote.

The Zhao family's grocery store is quite large, but it is estimated that because the time is still early, there are only a few customers. As soon as they arrived, a man in the store dressed in gray coarse cloth about twenty or so came out and greeted them with a smile.

"Fifth uncle, Sister Lian is also here."

"Fourth brother." Zhao Lian bowed to him slightly. Zhao Lian knew him, and her father said that there was a fourth-ranked cousin in the store who helped take care of the store, called Zhao Bai.

After greeting for a while, Zhao Bai and Zhao's father began to be busy with the affairs of the store.

Zhao Lian also took a few looks, and found that what their family did was not expensive business. Most of them are dried fruits, spices, pastries, and mountain goods, which are all things that ordinary people can use daily.

After Zhao's father was busy for a while, he said to Zhao Bai in a deep voice after the guests left: "Fourth brother, this spice hasn't sold much." ”

"Fifth uncle, yesterday Zhou's shop entered a batch of new spices. Whenever a guest buys something, they will give a small portion of new spices, saying that they will let everyone taste the taste. In addition, the color of his spices has always been better than that of everyone, and it is the same price as us. Everyone thinks there is a bargain to take advantage of, so let's do it. ”

Zhao Bai spread his hands and explained, his face was not good-looking. A lot of things in Zhao's shop belong to Zhaojiazhuang, and the business is not good, so he is also in a hurry.

Father Zhao shook his head helplessly, "I don't know where he got the new goods, everyone doesn't have them." If the price of good goods does not rise, other shops will suffer. Where did you come from, you broke the rules like this. ”

Zhao Bai comforted: "Fortunately, our family's spice business has not been the main one, and the most important mountain goods and dried fruits are still relatively good to sell, and the loss is not big." ”

After saying that, he pointed his finger in one direction and whispered to Zhao's father: "That family has been miserable these days." I estimate that in a few days, when his family has a seizure, the Zhou family's shop will be unlucky. When the time comes, even if you put all your net worth into it, it will not be enough. ”

The schadenfreude between the young man's eyebrows couldn't be hidden.

Father Zhao disagreed, and reprimanded: "I don't know if the wall has ears, that's what you can say?" Just be honest and be yourself. ”

Zhao Bai was not convinced: "Why can't you say it, doesn't everyone know, does his family still mind what people say?" ”

"Then which one do you see? Even if you know it, you can't take it out of your mouth. You don't understand this truth, I think you are going back the more you live. ”

Father Zhao was so angry that he gave him a leg, his head was so unbright, he would have to get into trouble sooner or later

Zhao Bai closed his mouth angrily, and went to be his own, the typical oral disbelief, seeing Zhao's father sighing, there was no clever one in his family.

Father Zhao and Zhao Bai deliberately avoided Zhao Lian to speak, Zhao Lian looked at the two of them muttering, and didn't know what to say. But she finally came out, and she couldn't stay in the store. After a while, she told Zhao's father that she was going to find Sister Xing'er. Father Zhao waved his hand at her and motioned for her to leave.

Zhao Lian followed the route told to her by Li Xing'er, followed the road to find the Li family's rouge shop, and walked for a while before finding a small Li Niangzi rouge shop.

Before I entered the store, I heard Sister Xing'er's voice coming from the store, and she was angry.

Zhao Lian was worried that something was wrong, so she hurriedly walked over.

In the store, Li Xing'er pointed to Ji Hao, who was dressed in pink clothes standing in front of the counter, and scolded: "Ji Er, how dare you come." This is a rouge shop, what do you do here every day, affect my business. If you don't leave, I'm going to beat you up. ”

Ji Hao shook the fan with one hand, propped up the counter with the other, and said with a smile: "You can't say that, everyone who comes is a guest, why can't a man's family come to the rouge shop, and a man's family can't buy rouge." You don't want this door-to-door business, do you still want to drive customers? Besides, why do I come to you every day, you don't know? ”

After that, he stared at Sister Xing'er directly.

"You!" The first time she encountered this kind of scene, Li Xing'er was instantly angry, and her face was flushed.

"What's wrong with me, quick, I want a box of rouge, just the color of your face." After that, he reached out and touched Li Xing'er's little face.

"I think you're looking for a fight." Li Xing'er was so angry that she instantly picked up the duster on the counter and pumped it on her head and face.

Ji Hao snorted and sprang away from the counter, and said more and more deviantly, "Xing'er, I'm going out for a month or two this time, don't be busy with marriage." When I come back, I will marry you. ”

At this time, Li Xing'er really went violent, and she crossed from the inside to the outside with one hand on the counter, chasing and beating, so angry that she couldn't even speak. "Dengzi, where are you going to do anything with me, what do I want to do, and who wants to marry you."

Ji Hao jumped up and down to avoid being beaten, and took the time to reply, "I am the second child in my family, and it is not impossible for you to marry me, but I have to wait for me to come back and discuss it with my father." ”

"Shameless!" Li Xing'er was so angry that she didn't say anything. Chase and fight, and leave no stone unturned.

"Hey, it's enough, you hit me in the face. If my handsome face is ruined, you will regret it in the future. "Even if Ji Hao is slapped in the face and the fan falls off, he will not repent, and he will be cheap.

Seeing that Li Xing'er was trembling with anger, Ji Hao didn't dare to stimulate anymore, and left a sentence, "Remember to wait for me." Then he fled from Zhao Lian's side and disappeared.

Zhao Lian was so shocked that her eyes and chin were about to fall off, didn't she say that the ancients were very polite, and there was still such a thing?

Li Xing'er, who was so tired that she was panting, saw Zhao Lian standing at the door in a daze, and she didn't know how much she saw and how she looked at her in her heart. It was really embarrassing and embarrassing for a while, and I couldn't wait to tear Ji Hao in my heart.
